Jockey Afsar Khan, the rider of WINNING TALE, placed Fourth by the Judge objected against Jockey Vinod Shinde, the rider of KAPATHOS, placed First, for he came to me sharply at 150 Metres, took me all the way inside until the Winning Post and this cost me a certain place. The Stewards held an enquiry immediately after the Race and examined the Jockeys concerned. After deliberations, they decided to overrule the objection.
